Summerlea Fred Eaglesmith
Key of D (CAPO 2nd Fret)
[Am]Night time's falling on the Summerlea,and su[G]ppers getting cold.
Its the[Am] second time in as many weeks he[G] hasn't shown.
He's [F]probably chasing some old steer a[Am]cross some prairie storm.
And w[G]hen she asks him he'll just shrug and say "[Am]that's the way things go".
__________
1st CHORUS:
But he o[Am]nly gets into town twice a month and he [G]gets out as fast as he can.
He d[Am]on't have a phone so she can't call him up and she [G]never knows where he is.
He [F]smells like horses and he chews tobacco and he [Am]cusses and he spits.
She[G]'s been in love a couple of times before, but [Am]never quite like this.
__________
[Am]Next month it'll be those damned old [G]Rodeos and fairs.
And [Am]He'll be gone for six weeks straight to G[G]od only knows where.
And he [F]won't win any money and [Am]worst than that, he won't care.
[G]When she asks him, he'll just smile he had a [Am]real good time out there.

__________
Well he [Am]stops his horse, to get a light and the [G]water pores of his hat.
Hes been [Am]out in the rain most of the night and o[G]ught to be getting back.
His been [F]thinking about the color of her hair and the [Am]touch of her hand.
And the [G]way she quietly smiles whene[Am]ver she looks at him.

3rd CHORUS:
But he o[Am]nly gets into town twice a month and he g[G]ets out as fast as he can.
He d[Am]on't have a phone so he can't call her up and he [G]never knows where she is.
Sh[F]e smells like flowers and perfume and t[Am]obacco and gin.
He's b[G]een in love a couple of times before, but[Am] never quite like this.
He's b[G]een in love a couple of times before, but[Am] never quite like this.
[Am]Night time's falling on the summerlea and suppe[G]rs getting cold[Am]
